tbh i'd give her more time and Never, Ever eat at you MiL's house again. the first thing dd ate was a peach, and she rather launched herself at it when she was sitting on my knee. i wonder if i'd do the same next time (if there is a next time...) and wait until the baby actually made a grab? maybe, not sure. but if i found myself crying about BLW i really, really would just not do it any more and go back to milk for a week and then try again. nothing's worth crying over, especially not, er spilt milk or puked banana. it's supposed to be fun, remember? i think your MiL has stressed you out, and to be honest it can't have been much fun for your baby to have you undermined like that. especially if your daughter is a preemie, i'd be inclined to leave it awhile, i never really understand the great rush myself. would that be better? how would you feel about trying later on, in a week or two, when her corrected age is nearer the 6 months?
